Sapozhnikova M. The justification of mass rearing of common green lacewing (Chrysopa carnea Steph.) to protect vegetable crops in greenhouses

Object of research - common green lacewings. The goal - the rationale and development of the technology of mass rearing of common green lacewing with the requirements of the economic feasibility of using the predator to protect vegetable crops in greenhouses. Develop a new concept of mass-rearing technology lacewing on wastes of production grain moth. Scientifically justify and elaborate design of cages. Develop a culture medium for feeding lacewing adults. Define rational composition of feed substrates and modes of larvae feeding. Build a simulation regression model mass rearing of green lacewing, to reduce the cost of production and its profitability. To study the effect of the duration of maintenance of common green lacewing in laboratory conditions on biotic indicators in order to prevent the degeneration of culture. Calculate biotic indicators characterizing stable technological culture lacewing. Evaluate the effectiveness of the common green lacewing against aphids. Methods: laboratory, environmental and field experiments, statistical methods. Scientifically sound and developed the technology of mass rearing lacewing given the opportunity to increase the productivity of equipment mass rearing of 3-5. The biological behaviors and nutrition immature stages and adults of lacewing were first clarified. The dry nutrient medium for adults was created. The model of the optimal process parameters of mass rearing was calculated. The field of application - agriculture, entomology, plant protection.
